Welcome to Thursday – and another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have new products to share and lots of fun creations.

The Thoughtful Expressions bundle is part of the Poetic Expressions Suite of products found on pages 60-62 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. It is extraordinary in the number of dies included and the beautiful stamp set and Designer Series Paper. This is a not to be missed suite! The fun patterns of the ‘sort of’ circle die is just super sweet and there are LOTS of them. Here’s how I put this card together. I chose the Boho Blue pattern in the Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP then a die that incorporated the design I wanted to highlight. For the background pattern, I simply chose another that coordinated from the same Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP. In this same die set – Thoughtful Expressions Dies – is what I’m calling a ‘banner’ die, also of various sizes. I chose one that seemed right for the blue die cut and elongated it by die cutting only a portion of the paper, then moved the top die cutting plate and lined the die up as closely as I could and made it longer. I die cut this wonderful open flower, twice, from Basic White, then the leaves from Mossy Meadow card stock (again, cut 2). I wanted a background embossing folder & chose one of my ‘favs’ `~ Basics 3D Embossing Folder called Cross Hatch from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. (It really comes with a set of 3, each different). That embossed Boho Blue panel was adhered directly to the card base of Boho Blue. The ‘banner’ die was adhered to that and the fancy circle die cut was adhered with dimensionals. The leaves were slipped under the corners and each attached with a glue dot. The die cut flowers were added with a mini dimensional and a 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue were added to each flower center. The sentiment comes from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set – stamped in Boho Blue on a Basic White strip and cut apart. The word ‘enjoy’ was fussy cut around to give it some charm and added with dimensionals. More of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue were added – totaling five. And the card front was done.

For the inside… I stamped this sweet flower from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Boho Blue in the corner. I used my Blending Brush & Boho Blue ink to color some of the upper portion of the Basic White inside panel. I added the rest of the stamped sentiment with liquid glue.

For the envelope… more of the Poetic Expressions Boho Blue Designer Series Paper on the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, the same flower as the inside of the card – Thoughtful Expressions stamp set & Boho Blue ink. Am LOVING this set – and it’s my first ‘play’. So wonderfully feminine and delicate. If you want to learn more about how to purchase this set from my online store, tune in below the names on the blog hop.
